Released in the summer of 2020 by Family Roots Publishing, this valuable resource mainly caters to those tracing their genealogy and heritage in two of Germany’s largest cities – Munich and Nuremberg. As the name suggests, it’s designed to help you determine where your ancestors may have worshipped and possibly left behind invaluable records. While this guide employs a distinct method for identifying places of worship in these large cities, it remains true to its core purpose – it is one among the series of Map Guides covering the entirety of Germany, with reference to locations from around 1870-1900.
Volumes 60 and 61, also focusing on important cities in the German Empire, are in the pipeline and are expected to hit the shelves by the end of 2020.
